The lights are free. Getting there is the hard part.
Traffic on 83rd to 86th Street often stops dead on December weekends, and parking near the displays is scarce. Most commercial bus tours leave from Manhattan on a fixed timetable, which does little for a family in Massapequa or Smithtown.
With a private limo or party bus, your group leaves from your own driveway and rides together. Nobody has to drive home tired on the Belt Parkway. Grandparents and small kids have a warm seat waiting whenever they have seen enough.
You also set the pace. Stay twenty minutes on one block if the kids want to, then move on when you are ready.
Start on 84th Street between 11th and 12th Avenue. It is the densest block and the one most people come to see.
Two houses draw the biggest crowds:
From there, walk the surrounding blocks out to 13th Avenue and down toward 86th Street. Remember these are people’s homes, so stay on the sidewalk and keep the noise down.
Most homes are lit by the weekend after Thanksgiving, and commercial tours this year start November 27. Displays usually stay up until around New Year’s, sometimes into the first days of January.
Mid-December is the safest choice if you want every house finished. For the shortest crowds, pick a weeknight in early December.
Aim to arrive right around dusk and be walking by 5 or 6 PM. The Saturdays just before Christmas are the busiest nights of the season, so leave extra time.
December 24 and 25 carry a holiday charge, and those dates fill first. Ask about them when you call.

These blocks are narrow residential streets. A smaller vehicle can usually drop you closer, while a large bus may need to stop farther out. See the full Long Island limo and bus fleet, or read more about our Long Island party bus rental for larger groups.
Yes, the streets are open, but expect to crawl. Traffic backs up on peak nights and parking can take longer than the walk.
In past seasons the area has had tour bus zones and temporary resident parking signs around 86th Street. We have not seen a published notice for 2026, and rules can change by block. Before you drive, check NYC 311 or the NYPD 68th Precinct for current notices.
With a chauffeur, the parking problem is simply not yours.
Dyker Heights pairs well with other holiday stops. Our NYC Christmas lights tour guide shows how to combine Brooklyn with Rockefeller Center. Staying closer to home? Book a Long Island holiday lights tour by limo around Nassau and Suffolk.

We pick up across Long Island, including every town in our Nassau County limo service area and our Suffolk County limo service area. Queens and Manhattan pickups are available too. Dispatch answers 24/7.
Yes, for most families. Few neighborhoods decorate on this scale, and it costs nothing to walk. Go on a weeknight if crowds bother you.
No. The displays are on public streets and anyone can walk them. A tour or private limo only solves the transportation and parking.
Yes. There is no ticket or entry fee to walk the neighborhood.
Most homes light up around Thanksgiving weekend and stay on until around New Year’s. There is no official calendar, because each homeowner decides.
Many houses switch off between 9 and 10 PM, so plan to be walking by 6 or 7 PM at the latest.
The main area runs from 83rd to 86th Street and from 11th to 13th Avenue. Start on 84th Street between 11th and 12th Avenue.
A limo can use the public streets, but heavy traffic makes a slow drive-through disappointing. The better plan is a drop-off nearby and a walk on the blocks.
Our vehicles range from a 3-passenger sedan to a party bus for up to 29. Tell us your headcount and we will suggest the right size.
December nights fill quickly, and the best dates go first. Call (631) 887-5544 any time, or get a free Dyker Heights limo tour quote and we will send you a written price for your date.
